Our journeys through cemeteries locally and not so locally.
A Member of the Associate of Graveyard Rabbits.

Of course, the vast majority of my blog is dedicated to the work that my daughter and I do discovering local cemeteries and photographing them, but I know that there are many, many more out there in the world that I will probably never get to see. Because of this, I would hate for something to be missed or forgotten.

Therefore, I will gladly take submissions from my readers! Please just fill out the form below or if you prefer to, email me here. I will do my best to make sure everyone gets a place here. I do, however, request that all photos that are submitted are yours and yours alone. I can not accept photos that are taken from the other sources without permission. All photos that are submitted, along with any information, will be credited to the source and an email address will be linked for further questions or information. If this is a problem, please, PLEASE, let me know.

About Me

Hi, I'm Amber. I'm a busy mom with a variety of interests including writing, crafting, cemeteries and history. Come with me on my journey.

This small cemetery only has four interments, two of which are listed on the same headstone. Records for the Monroe County History Cemetery had the location of this cemetery about a quarter of a mile away from its actual location, but a call from the Sycamore Land Trust property owners to the History Center reset that location. We were lucky enough to get a chance to go out to the cemetery with a member of the History Cemetery to take a look.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Our first stop is at the grave of Doctor Frank J. Restle.Born: 1927Died: 1980His wife, Barbara, is listed on the reverse of the headstone, though, I believe that she is still alive as there is no death date shown.This headstone is very unusual as I have never seen one like it before. It is carved in such a way as to almost represent a flame. It stands out quite nicely in the wooded area.I believe that his parents are buried next to him, Frank J. Restle (1898-1965) and Isabel J. Restle (1899-1967). I have no information on whether or not he had any children.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here we have the grave of Frank J. Restle.Born: 1898Died: 1965And that of his wife, Isabel J. Restle.Born: 1899Died: 1967This headstone is next to the above mentioned Frank J. Restle (1927-1980). I believe that the younger Frank is their son. I have no further information on any of the family.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And finally, we stop at the grave of Robert G. Clark.Born: May 1848Died: October 1848He was the son of John Clark (?-?) and Nancy Clark (?-?).As you can see by the picture, there are two headstones, though from deciphering the original headstone, I am not certain that they are for the same person. The inscription on the older headstone is as follows:

"Robert G. ClarkA son of John Clark andNancy ClarkWas born -----The 10, 1855And died ----The 15, 185-"I believe that there may have been two Clark sons buried next to each other, both having died very young. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I hope that you have enjoyed your walk through Johnson-Clark Cemetery.Please visit the listing at Find-A-Grave.Let me know if you have questions or information about any of the graves listed here.
